Santa Frame Ornament
This is a frame
ornament for a small facial picture.
I made the pattern a

It is very quick to
make and looks really cute on a tree.
Enjoy!

For Facial Pic: I used a printer and plain paper.
My
printed face sizes were about 1 ½” (3.8cm).
Cut
a circle that fits the Santa frame (about 2” or 5cm). Use it as a template to measure and cut
around the face photos.
When
cutting photos, be sure to leave about a ¼ to ½” (.6 to 1.3cm) below
the chin, so the face will show properly in the frame.
